Big brain hours.

I've read this sentence two ways: they're picking frames that are "popular/a fad for that season", or they don't have a need for glasses outside of being stylish. If it's the latter, isn't that some form of appropriation/mockery of the vision impaired like that Vine fad with the "I'm ugly, but I'm actually beautiful" shit? Yeah, this "I just have the frames, my eyes are actually fine" look has been around even before social media, but then they get snooty/defensive about it when someone questions it.

I personally don't care about thick and squared frames, I get why they exist and if I can find one that looks and feels good on me I might try picking one out in the future (when I'm old and don't care anymore). But it makes me think these people don't have friends/family members to go along with to go through eyeglasses together to make sure they have that second opinion, so that's why a lot of them look more like blockheads than sexy if that's what they were going for. It's not hard to have glasses that's both practical and fashionable, and yet they're just so adverse to their own reflection and/or have no idea how to match frames with the shape of their face. Makes for a good "Watch out, I'm nuts!" first impression, but come on, people.

That reminds me, is there a meme for the "eyeglasses to intellect" like there is for the ponytail meme (which I never knew existed before it showed up in this thread) by any chance? For science.

Glasses = smart is an ancient trope.

How is that any different than the actions of the government when they righteously tax a billionaire who "doesn't need" all that wealth? Do they not do the same via porking up their own pockets and friends?

Some good politicians exist. If your average billionaire had his way there would be children mining coal naked and an actual aristocracy.

Of course, glasses don't increase IQ and the "nerds have glasses hyuck" stereotype hasn't helped at all. But in terms of the frames fads I was just curious if a meme's ever been made about that. I've kinda been under the impression it was one of the first Tumblrina memes because of the thick black frames that's a common sight to see, but it's like a subconscious thing where you just first look at their hair and/or glasses and just know.

Not that I've seen, but its so prevalent someone has to have noticed.

It’s always the trans that cause the most noise, isn’t it?

Oh holy fuck which Warchowski brother was that? Good God, I don't recall any of them ever looking that round... no, elongated in the face before they went trans.

What’s weird is that the other Wachowski does a better job at passing. Then again, she got a bigger headstart.

I can believe the one was trans, but the other deciding he was actually a woman inside too was the first big thunkful moment for me in wondering if this really is just all a trend and nothing more. Especially since they hadn't been relevant in years before that first "I'm trans" announcement/when they made Jupiter Rising, I think.

As someone who wears glasses because their eyes suck, I genuinely get a kick out trolling fucktards who wear them for fashion. Watching people get flustered when you ask why those frames have no lenses, or what prescription they have is almost as good as the follow up of "Would you wear hearing aids to mimic the deaf?".

The whole thing is just baffling.

Wachowski looks like elderly women who I attended church with as a kid.
 
Only 12+K Americans died from swine flu, but 60 million Americans caught it. That's more or less one-in-five Americans. Have one in five Americans caught Corona? I doubt it.

As someone who has had to wear glasses since 4th grade, most people I've met wearing them are goddamn stupid, myself included. Contacts exist for a reason.

I once wore a pair of prescriptionless contacts (given by my optometrist) for about 4 hours just to see about getting them in the future. My eyes did not like them at all. Took pretty much the entirety of a four day weekend for normal vision to return. Never again!

I've had some people who have worn contacts and come into the office with crazy ulcers and abrasions. When asked most say that they either sleep in their contacts, too lazy to take them out, or I've had people say they havent taken their contacts out for +6 months.
Jesus I've accidentally slept in mine and woke up with irritated eyes. But people who have never taken out their contacts for months, their pain tolerance must be on another level.

I wonder how many swiners back then were packed into nursing homes of the most vulnerable people?

My state only has 9k confirmed cases, with the CDC speculating there could be 50k. Even the estimate number isn't even 1% of the state's total population. But ya know, the deaths are all 100% Trump's fault anyway.

Some good capitalists exist. And if your average politician had his way, it would be illegal to print "hate speech" (i.e. criticize them) and an actual aristocracy of rule-for-life leaders.

I can play this game too, but, that's not my goal.

Billionare = bad Government = Good (or vice versa) is one of the dumbest things that otherwise smart people push for no good reason I can discern, they both wield entirely too much power over the public. If you really want the average man to live life as unimpeded as possible, you have to oppose both. BOTH are bad.

These right wing politicians? They're revolutionary Marxist-Leninists... this Russia thing is leading us in weird directions.

Because it literally took the progressive movement to end that practice. Child labor was cheaper and they could fit into small places. Business would have continued to use them without government intervention.

You need government to reign in billionaires. This isn't necessarily a left or right issue. It was primarily the right who fought against eminent domain during the 2000s. Ginsburg actually voted in favor of confiscating private property to give to the rich.

You become a millionaire with a good idea and hard work. Most billionaires arise from monopolies and exploiting the law.
